In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the Red Chestnut remedy and how it can help you overcome your excessive concern for others. So, if you’re ready to enjoy greater peace of mind and freedom from worry, read on!
Red Chestnut Bach Flower: For over-concern for others
If you’re someone who is constantly anxious for the safety of your loved ones, then you may benefit from using the Bach flower remedy Red Chestnut. This remedy can help to ease your fears and allow you to focus on yourself more, rather than constantly worrying about others.
If need Red Chestnut you are caring, compassionate and can tune in to others and empathise easily. But sometimes this compassion overspills and can mean you’re constantly watching out for your loved ones in case something bad happens. For example, parents staying up waiting for their child to return home safely or sitting by the phone awaiting a text to say they’ve arrived safely at a destination.
It is often mothers and fathers who have strong bonds to their children and are almost too strongly tied to them or projecting their fears or worries onto them. Red Chestnut can just slightly loosen that tie so that you can both enjoy life freely without worry.
The positive potential of Red Chestnut is to have a more balanced level of concern for others without this becoming too excessive and where you can both enjoy a life of freedom.

Other Bach flowers for Anxiety

Aspen is for anxieties where there is no known cause, it is more of a general foreboding, apprehension and a constant feeling of unease. You don’t exactly know why you’re anxious though – which is the difference between Aspen and Mimulus.
Agrimony
Agrimony is for people who hide their worries behind a smile. They put a brave face on their problems and pretend to the world that everything is fine, when underneath they are suffering mental torment. This sometimes comes out at night when the person isn’t distracted by their busy daytime life.
Mimulus
Mimulus is the flower remedy for anxieties where there is a known cause for example, anxiety around health, money, fear of redundancy… and so on. People who need Mimulus are also often shy, timid and sensitive in nature.

More about Bach flower remedies What are Bach flower remedies?
Bach Flower remedies were created in the 1930s by Dr Bach an English physician and homeopath. He created 38 different flower remedies (plus Rescue Remedy) with each one relating to a different emotional issue. They can help with all sorts of emotional support such as stress, anxiety, depression, motivation and sleep.
They are 100% natural, have no side effects and won’t interact with any existing medication you’re taking. They are gentle in their transformation.
How do you take Bach flower remedies?
Flower remedies have been used for decades to help with a wide range of ailments. You can take them by mouth either on your tongue or added to a drink, and the recommended dose is four drops, four times per day. If you feel like it’s necessary, then you can take more often – there isn’t any potential risk involved because these plants work through vibration energy so just follow what feels right for yourself at that moment
